Doctor in Shadow — Diana Douglas

A pretty nurse and a rich playgirl set their caps for the same man. a handsome surgeon.

ONE AND ONE ARE THREE

The new nurse ... the old flame ... and her father... Nothing adds up any more for Dr. Desmond Burton. Two years ago, he was a man with a world of promise--now he is faced by emotional and professional ruin. His countdown to disaster starts on the day he tells Dr. John Woodstock he was too old to practice surgery... on the same day, Bianca Woodstock left Burton for a millionaire playboy, and he first saw Alison Metcalf, a young nurse who played her game heart first. On that day, Desmond Burton became a Doctor in Shadow.
